How to fix launcher errors
Since the release of Escape from Tarkov, some players have had issues with the game's launcher that prevent you from playing. There are a few different issues that people encounter here and we will try to help with a few. The first issue people had was not being able to install the game in the first place, with it saying that a certain client file cannot be loaded. The solution here is to try to run the download file as administrator on your computer, which usually makes it easier for you to install certain things. If that doesn't work, you may have to download the file itself again and try again to see what happens.
One of the most common errors that people have come across has been 0xc0000005 which causes your game to freeze and cannot be reopened or simply does not open in the first place from the launcher. This is declared as an “access violation” with Battlestate Games officially providing a list of recommendations to try and combat this issue.
The first is to reinstall DirectX on your computer with a web installer. Then run the registry cleaner, as the error may be due to errors in the registry. Another potential issue causing this problem is that your antivirus can block the game, so you need to whitelist Escape From Tarkov to prevent this from happening. They also recommend a few other fixes like having an antivirus to avoid viruses that might cause problems, making sure you have enough RAM to run it and that the augmentative devices are not installed correctly. For the latter in particular, they recommend that you run the game under a different profile to see if it will work.
If none of these fixes seem to help, the other solutions are fairly typical for most computer programs. Try to clear the cache in the launcher, restart the computer, make sure your computer and drivers are all up to date, and all other basic steps associated with keeping the computer up to date. By trying these various fixes, you should get the launcher for Escape From Tarkov to work. Otherwise, they have setup support on their site where you can request further assistance.
